Metallic MacBooks Spotted on Apple Campus
Though noticeably thinner but otherwise similar in size to the company's 13-inch MacBooks, the notebook appeared to have a metallic sheen to it, which set it apart from the current black MacBook.
The report is reminiscent of a 9to5mac report that indicated that new MacBook enclosures made of black and silver aluminum had previously been spotted by their sources.

(View all)I'm surprised they'd let this loose in the "wild" like that. Someone's getting canned.
Yeah I'm aware that there are other stuff that sets the MBPs apart, but traditionally Apple also separates the consumer/pro models with different enclosures (plastic as opposed to metallic)
EDIT: Slip, we think alike.
On topic: If they're moving the MacBooks to aluminum/metallic enclosures, what will they do with the MacBook Pros to set it apart?

I think that apple has moved away from this tradition. The new iMac is not set apart with its enclosure in anyway.
This thread is nothing without pictures.
basically.
but at least they didn't say it was a tablet.
Trying to be an optimist - maybe the new MacPros will sport a gunmetal finish.
